He warned the people, on behalf of God, of pending destruction if ways and hearts were not changed. He told them what the L ORD requires of them:.
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the L ORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? Another prophecy given by Micah details the future destruction of Jerusalem and the plowing of Zion a part of Jerusalem. This passage Micah 3: But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. This passage is recalled in Matthew 2: And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
Where are we?
Micah was referring to the division in Judah and Samaria, the distrust that had arisen between all citizens, even within families. Jesus said that he did not come to bring peace, but to divide households. Men are commanded to love Jesus Christ more than their own family members, and Jesus indicated that this priority would lead to persecution from others and separation within families.
This is repeated in Luke 1: This prophecy concerned the kingdom and salvation through the Messiah.
Micah (prophet) - Wikipedia
It is a step in the fulfillment of the blessing of the descendants of Abraham. And the Lord relented concerning the doom which He had pronounced against them. But we are doing great evil against ourselves. Although the Quran only mentions around twenty-five prophets by name, and alludes to a few others, it has been a cardinal doctrine of Islam that many more prophets were sent by God who are not mentioned in the scripture.
Thus, Islamic authors have often alluded to Micah as a prophet in their works.
In the Eastern Orthodox Church he is commemorated twice in the year. The first feast day is January 5 for those churches which follow the traditional Julian Calendar , January 5 currently falls on January 18 of the modern Gregorian Calendar. However, since January 5 is also the eve of the Great Feast of Theophany in the west, Epiphany and a strict fast day near total abstinence from food and non-religious activities , his major celebration is on August 14 the forefeast of the Great Feast of the Dormition of the Mother of God. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Not to be confused with Micaiah.
